According to information from the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), striker Nguyen Cong Phuong suffered a fat tissue injury under the sole of his foot. Although the injury was not too serious, the urgent time frame prevented this striker from reaching his best physical condition to compete.
It is expected that Cong Phuong will need about 2 weeks to fully recover and will return to the club to continue treatment today.
This is a very regrettable thing for Cong Phuong personally, as the Nghe An striker has been working tirelessly to return to the national team after nearly two years of absence. Head coach Kim Sang-sik also encouraged his student, and agreed to let Cong Phuong return to the club to ensure the best treatment process.
To ensure the strength of the Vietnamese National Team's attack after Cong Phuong was injured and had to say goodbye to this training session, coach Kim Sang-sik decided to call up striker Nguyen Quoc Viet from the U22 Team to the National Team.
Quoc Viet has the advantage of being a face that was once called up by coach Kim to the National Team and is also a key factor of U22 Vietnam, currently training at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center ( Hanoi ).
This striker born in 2003 is known by the nickname "King of Youth Tournaments" thanks to his impressive achievements in national youth tournaments, including winning the title of Top Scorer at the National U17, U19 and U21 tournaments.
Quoc Viet used to play for the youth teams of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club and Nutifood JMG, before being promoted to the first team of the "Mountain City Football Team" competing in the V-League National Championship.
At the beginning of the 2024 season, Quoc Viet moved to play for Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club in the National First Division, in order to find more opportunities to play and gain competition experience.
In the international arena, Quoc Viet has participated in the Vietnam U19, U20 and U23 teams, participating in many important tournaments such as the Southeast Asian U23 Championship, SEA Games and the Asian U20/23 Finals.
Highly appreciated for his technique, finishing ability and tactical thinking, Quoc Viet promises to be a quality addition to the Vietnamese team's attack, preparing for the important match against Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup Qualifiers on June 10./.
